I understand that the rear pointing snorkel would be very awkward in a front engine car and serve no practical purpose, hence it's likely a Pantera specific part. There must however be more than one stock setup as some cars had flex tubing running down the passenger side of the firewall from the snorkel. I think Chuck showed pics of such a set a while ago.

The one on the car on eBay looks like a correct original...

The one I got hold of was supposedly a Pantera air cleaner. It was black wrinkle finish with a plated lid. The snorkel points forward/right.
